With the increasing interest in unconventional resource plays, there have been important
changes in the way how reservoirs and their attributes are assessed and characterized. Of …

Studies on the mechanisms of shale gas adsorption are of great significance for shale gas
accumulation and reserves evaluation. In order to investigate the mechanisms of shale gas …

Both the characteristics of lithofacies and tectonic movements are important factors in
controlling the development, destruction, and preservation of pores in shale reservoirs …

Understanding the effects of mineral composition on geomechanical characteristics is critical
in order to design and optimize the hydraulic fracturing necessary for shale gas reservoir …

The exploration practices of marine and lacustrine shale gas in the Upper Yangtze Platform,
South China show that there is a huge difference in gas content, which is mainly related to …

Nanoscale pores have been widely observed in shale plays. Within such a small scale pore,
the interaction between fluid molecules and porewall surface becomes significant, and the …

Abstract Characterization of microscopic pore system of organic-rich shales is of great
importance for understanding the occurrence mechanism and flow behavior of shale oil …

In order to evaluate the accuracy of different methods for the methane excess adsorption
correction, the Polanyi adsorption potential theory was introduced to analyze the absolute …

In this study, the Polanyi theory was applied to investigate variation in shale gas adsorption
capacity with burial depth. Analyses were implemented on background data of two shale …
